Clearly, with the 2009 SEC Media Days featuring Auburn, LSU, South Carolina, Tebow-gate, and Tennessee today, there isn't a lot of talk about Alabama. Still, the Crimson Tide made a fairly big impression yesterday.

So... let's see revisit what's went on with Alabama coach Nick Saban and his team:

-- Perhaps you noticed a Tweet by ESPN's Joe Schad saying that Rolando McClain would return for his senior season. Later in the day, Ro said just wait.

"I haven't even thought about it, really," McClain said. "I got to get through this season. When that comes, I'll sit down with Coach (Nick) Saban and my family. If he thinks it's best for me to go, I'll go. But right now, I'm focused on trying to get better, make my team better, and win an SEC championship."

-- During his long media session, Saban discussed some of Alabama's receivers including Julio Jones. But he was clear, UA needs more.

"I think for our receiver core to continue and develop, and have more explosive players, other than Julio Jones," Saban said, "showing consistency in making plays, is going to have a lot to do with it. We have good runners with experience coming back."

-- One interesting topic asked of Saban had to do with backup quarterback Star Jackson. Would he try to get Star on the field as a change-of-pace, running quarterback?

"Not really," Saban said. "We want to play the best players at every position. Every player on our team has to prove that they can go out there and execute what they need to do to play winning football. And Star Jackson has outstanding athletic ability. But he needs to be able to go out there and execute. He is a player who can make plays with his feet. But we don't feel like there's some other part of our team that's gonna make us change our philosophy."
